He was encouraging when I was worried about the reception. He helped us with some set up, his food was fabulous, his staff was top of the line.

Thank you so much Matt, for making our daughter's dream come true.

What a step back in time and a great nostalgic bar!…read more The pricing for the drinks seemed great and even some of the bourbon selection pours were worth it. I am definitely particular about my martinis. They crushed it on a gin martini - stirred, not shaken & vermouth rinsed - with a twist. Was perfectly done! We also tried a vodka one...was a 4 out of 5. Overall: great place to go and get drink with some friends! Will definitely be back.

Four stars for great interior design and excellent martini options!…read more Such a fun place to sit with friends or colleagues to have a drink with friendly service. The drink menu is robust with a lot of interesting and unique options. If I had more time, I'd have enjoyed tasting several different drinks. Loved the turquoise colored seating, theme is groovy 60's design and quite comfortable. I do recommend!

They have a special wedding weekend rental where you can rent the loft from Friday afternoon until noon on Sunday. This is what we did and since all of the guests were from out of town it allowed us to have a place for everyone to congregate during the weekend. There are actually two different lofts in the Apothecary--one small, one large. Each has an open area for seating, a kitchen area, and a master suite. We rented the large loft and it held approximately 100 guests comfortably. If you aren't too worried about the comfort of your guests you can probably squeeze in 130 or so. I highly recommend the Apothecary for any special event and Crystal is great to work with!

"Good for large fundraisers, dances, & weddings."…read more As I am writing this, Yelp has an incorrect listing for this building. It is actually located at 201 N. 7th St. in Lincoln's Historic Haymarket District. This location is good for large fundraisers, dances, & weddings. It is part of an historic train depot , which has since been turned into a Great Hall. It's run by Premier catering. According to their website: - Located in the Haymarket - Beautiful Marble Floors - 19 Foot High Ceilings - Seats up to 425 - Total Meeting Space - 6,100 sq. ft. - Total Number of Meeting Rooms - 1 - Food/Beverage Capabilities - Yes - Total Number of Sleeping Rooms - 0 Photos & a floorplan are also available here: http://www.premiercatering.net/lincolnstation.htm I've been to many different events here, & they all seemed to run smoothly. TIPS: - For out-of-towners, several nice hotels are within walking distance (even in 4" heels - just watch the cobblestone!). - For newlyweds - the Haymarket is a favorite place for outdoor wedding photos. - Bring cash. If there's an ATM inside, I can't find it. - If you're early to an event here, walk a block north & check out the water tower courtyard, brick relief of a train, & the old "retired" trains behind the building. There's also a train jungle gym for kids who need to run out some energy. - Excellent locally breweed beer & homemade ice cream next door, at Lazlo's & Ivanna Cone, respectively. - Use the south doors on the east side of the building. (next to the bronze guy on the bench) The entrances to the ballroom are often locked on the other side during events.

Post-visit, I can honestly say wat stay ovah dea: "Haoles, corn, and choke land." ------------- SCCA SOLO II NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RUNOFFS I was dea attending da 50th Annual Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Solo II National Championship Runoffs sponsored by online discount tire/wheel magnate, Tire Rack, and held in September 2013. No, I don't race, but my husband does! And befoa any of you get any kine preconceived notions of a spiky-haired, skinny and lanky Japanee/Korean/Chinee who binges on Fast & Da Furious movies, Initial D manga, and Top Gear (da Europe version; U.S. one sucks monkey butt), who illegally races on da H-2 and H-3 freeway in da middle of da nite, and goes to Tantalus fo' midnite drift runs .... YOU'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT! NOT! He's a "fluffy", dark Hawaiian dude dat I affectionately call "Da Fat & Da Furious" (based on comedian Gabriel Iglesias' hilarious joke) who has done autocrossing fo' ovah a decade now. WHAT AUTOCROSSING (OR "AUTOX") IS .... A timed competition wea cars race, one at a time, on a defined course, and da goal is fo' have da fastest time. It's a sport dat requires speed, but mo' so, you need fo' have precision and expertise behind da wheel.

It was spacious, clean, and capable of holding large parties up to 300 people. A parking lot dat holds up to 90 cars and no pukas!!! (puka = "hole" in Hawaiian; if you live in Hawai'i, especially on O'ahu, majority of our roads and highways look like da equivalent of Swiss cheese). Has a large commercial kitchen or you can bring your own catering/food. Very impressive and located rite across from da Museum of American Speed dat has several HUMANGOUS floors of race cars, engines, items related to speed (push carts, bikes, etc.), car-related merchandise (lunch boxes, toys, etc.), antiques, and mo'! I guess with all da land in Corntown, U.S.A. dey can afford fo' have such a spacious and huge facility ... lucky buggahs! REVIEW #256

The facility is gorgeous, well stocked and had all kinds of extras that you can choose to use for your event. Great sound system.

She was involved through the whole process and so easy to work with. The bartender was great and so accommodating when we had a featured drink request. Thank you so much!

It's eclectic and book-ish, with shelves lining the walls and cocktails inspired by favorites! There was a good mix of tables and space to mingle. It was great for the type of event we were at. I'd love to come back again sometime. I was also very happy to see a mocktail menu and am glad many places are moving in that direction. For my mocktail, I tried the Practical Magic (lavendar, house sour, orange bitters), and it was delicious - almost like a sparkling lavendar lemonade. I wish I could have tried the Secret Garden (prickly pear, lime, orange), but they were out of the tequila alternative, and I hadn't thought to sub in real tequila at the time. For my cocktail, I tried the Lavendar and Lace, mostly because I was intrigued by the egg white foam. This is a gorgeous drink to look at and equally to enjoy. It's a bit sweet for my usual liking, but it was delicious none the less.

I was an out of state bride (Lincoln though is Home) and working with Starr, mostly virtually, was so easy. Then when I was in town she always allowed me to visit so we could plan decor.

The food was good, the staff was nice and again the space is just so pretty-- and a great location especially having a lot of out of town guests. Close to hotels and bars/restaurants for guests to enjoy during their visit. The minor things are there are some dings on the walls and some of the carpet is worn and threads coming loose but again over all I had a great experience and so did my guests!
